Our Basic WordPress Installation includes:

Akismet Spam Filter – This is the best application on the market to help protect you from web spam. Many spammers infiltrate websites through trackbacks and comment sections. Akismet keeps them out. This is a fully automated spam filter so once we set it up, you wont have to do anything with it!

Custom Email – Your hosting account will come with an option to set up email addresses. We will set this up for you and get you started with your own email address related to your new blog. For example, your name @ your new blog’s name – johnnyblogger@yourblog.com. Simply enter the desired name you want into the email section of the sign up form and we will take care of the rest.

Search Engine Optimized Permalinks – Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual blog posts and pages (i.e. www.yourblog.com/yourawesomeblogpost). The default structure of WordPress permalinks is ugly and horrible for SEO purposes. If you don’t change the default setting, when you publish a blog post, the title of the post will NOT be in the URL. It will look something like this: www.yourblog.com/?p=345. We will change the default settings and set it up so the title of your blog posts and pages show up in the URL.

XML Sitemap – Letting Search Engines know your blog exists and is available is very important. Sitemaps are an easy way to inform search engines about pages on your blog that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. We will submit an XML Sitemap of your blog to all three major search engines; Google, Yahoo and Bing.

W3 Total Cache – W3 Total Cache improves the user experience of your site by improving your server performance, caching every aspect of your site, reducing the download times and providing transparent content delivery network (CDN) integration. Benefits include:

• At least 10x improvement in overall site performance (Grade A in YSlow or significant Google Page Speed improvements) when fully configured
• Improved conversion rates and “site performance” which affect your site’s rank on Google.com
• “Instant” subsequent page views: browser caching

Have you ever wondered how search engines like Google figure out which results to show when you type in a phrase in the search box? How come the websites that show up on the first page are put in front of other sites that are displayed on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. search engine results pages (SERP)? Well, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has a great deal to do with it and the websites that implement proper SEO practices are the ones that make it to the first pages of search engines. You can imagine just how much more traffic these websites get compared to those that show up on subsequent SERPs.

Search Engine Optimization is essential in improving the quality and volume of traffic to your blog via the search engines. With the refinement of your blog’s content, the development of inbound links, and other techniques, you can improve the page rank of your blog and rise to the top of the search engine results page (SERP). With our Search Engine Optimization Pak, we will set up and configure some of the most important SEO tools necessary in order to get you more traffic from the search engines.

WordPress SEO – This is hands down the most complete SEO plugin available. It was designed by SEO expert Joost de Valk and incorporates much of the value achieved from single-item SEO plugins all into one tool. With this plugin, you will be able to create post titles and meta descriptions for search engine results, incorporate keyword testing, set up breadcrumbs, XML Sitemaps, clean up permalinks and more.

We will fully install and configure WordPress SEO according to industry standard practices.

SEO Friendly Images – When it comes to SEO, images often times take a backseat and are not fully optimized for search engines because webmasters feel they play a small and insignificant role. The truth is, they play an important role in fully optimizing your blog posts and pages. With SEO Friendly Images, your images will automatically be updated with proper ALT and Title attributes. The ALT attribute is what describes your image to search engines. The Title attribute is what describes your image to visitors when they hover over it. We use it!

We will install SEO Friendly Images and configure it so it automatically updates the attributes of your images.

SEO Smart Links – This is a great application that provides you some automatic SEO benefit. What it does is automatically links keywords and phrases in your blog posts and pages to the corresponding posts and pages. For example, let’s say you write a blog post about how to train your dog. You can add relevant keyword phrases (i.e “how to train your dog” or “training your dog” or “dog training tutorial”) to the Smart Links custom keyword list and assign them a specific blog post URL  When you use those phrases in other posts and pages they will automatically link to the URL you assigned them to! You can also use this feature to link to other websites and blogs.

Creating keyword-specific links is a huge part of Search Engine Optimization. This is a great tool for interlinking blog posts with keyword-rich text. It is also widely used by affiliate marketers who will link to the affiliate programs and websites they make money from. We use it!

We will install SEO Smart Links and configure it so all you have to do is create your keyword list and assign the appropriate URL.
